Cherry Pie

Cherry pie is a classic dessert made with a buttery, flaky crust and a sweet, slightly tart cherry filling. The cherries become soft and juicy as they bake, creating a rich fruit filling that pairs perfectly with the golden crust. It is delicious served warm or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
